As the need for residential development continues to increase with population growth, the need for noise barrier walls around these communities are also a requirement.
With tight constraints due to the Region of Waterloo trail system, Silentium Group was called upon to provide a turn-key noise barrier wall solution. This project was recently completed by Silentium Group managing all facets of the project, including permits, engineering/design, material procurement and installation.
As developers and retailers now target neighborhood-based big box stores, residents and communities are demanding better sound abatement. Silentium Group’s maintenance-free sound wall systems help keep the peace between commercial developers and neighboring residents.
Silentium Group made fast work today setting numerous noise barrier wall posts on this big box store development project in the GTA.
Silentium Group was up for the task when approached to meet a plethora of requirements for a high end residential development noise wall project. Not only was the Owner looking for an aesthetically pleasing noise wall that performed well acoustically; the geotechnical report concluded that core drilling into limestone bed rock would be required to achieve the foundation design provided by the Silentium Group.
By providing continued site assistance along with working closely with the Owners general contractor, Silentium Group’s project management team exceeded all of the Owners requirements and expectations. The noise barrier wall is attracting a lot of positive attention where a local golf course is now looking to install the very same Silentum Group noise wall system alongside a freeway adjacent to the course.
Silentium Group is leading by example and is getting noticed as an industry leader for providing innovative integrated noise wall systems, design flexibility and superior customer service. Such reasons are why Metrolinx chose Silentium Group to provide an integrated noise wall / retaining wall system for the Winston Churchill Go Station.
The new Winston Churchill Go Station will provide more efficient and reliable east-west transit service on a dedicated bus corridor. Silentium Group’s aesthetically pleasing integrated retaining wall / noise barrier system will provide privacy to adjacent residents. Construction of the integrated retaining wall / noise barrier wall is to be completed by the end of 2016.
Silentium Group’s turnkey noise barrier wall solutions were chosen for an outdoor electrical upgrade project tendered by the City of Toronto. Silentium Group teamed up with Parklane Mechanical Acoustics and will be providing material supply, engineering and installation of our AcoustaCrete absorptive precast noise wall system. Installation to commence in April 2017.
Silentium Group’s Integrated Retaining Wall / Noise Wall system has been selected on the Metrolinx Stouffville Corridor Track Expansion Project. Due to tight space restrictions on the rail corridor foot print, Silentium Group’s integrated system was the optimal choice where significant grade differences between two sides of the noise wall are present throughout the course of the track .
Silentium Group’s integrated retaining walls / noise wall designs are engineered in-house and specify the required steel post sections, depth and diameter of footings, along with the panel width necessary to handle typical loads for these type of project requirements. Installation to commence September 2016.
